I can't get away from it all in real life so I'm going to allow digital me to do it instead.
I would like the best sandbox rpg crafting construction thing out there.
I have a few requirements:
- I want to be able to do everything myself but I don't want to do it all outright. Games like Life is Feudal and Wurm Unlimited count as I, as the server owner, can change skill caps. Games like Minecraft don't as there's a lack of the type of progression I want.
- As mentioned previously, I would really like a dedicated server option. The server would be up pretty much 24/7 but being able to do my own thing off by myself while having some kind of chat would be nice.
- Elements of procedural generation/infinite worlds. I already own Life is Feudal and the only reason I'm not playing it right now is because there's one map. The only difference between servers is ore distribution.
- Somewhat nice looking construction. Voxels are nice and all but (Space Engineers example time) I don't necessarily want all walls to be at least 2.5m thick. This is where Ark handles things nicely.
- (Nice-to-have) Open construction. This is another area where Life is Feudal falls on its face. I don't want to just plonk down one-floor structures. Being able to design a floorplan and have multiple levels like in Wurm would be nice.
I've gone through Steam and there's just a massive number of games in various states of playability. The aforementioned Wurm Unlimited, Life is Feudal, Space Engineers, and Ark. Grav, Empyrion, Farlight Explorers, Eden Star, Planet Explorers, the list goes on and on. That's where B12 comes in - surely people in this thread have played at least a few of these.
